The City of Pawtucket, the Pawtucket School Department, and the Pawtucket Housing Authority have been monitoring the recent federal changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This nationwide disruption is expected to impact nearly 16,000 Pawtucket residents who rely on these benefits. These updates tighten work and participation requirements for adults without dependents and adjust how benefit levels are calculated, potentially slowing future increases. Families with older children and individuals with unstable work or transportation barriers may face new challenges in maintaining benefits.
